Mark,
For me technical knowledge (the majority of responses so far) seems less important than art - given only three top choices. Though I suppose those who included books in their top three must mean more than just technical books.
Three ideas to consider before anything else to make photography worth doing:
(1) A photograph isn’t a reliable record of objective reality.
(2) The viewer is the subject of the photograph.
(3) A photograph is an object as well as an image. At this point considerations of craft come into play.
